(PRESS RELEASE) The MJSA Education Foundation is now accepting scholarship applications from students interested in turning their passion for the design, manufacture, and/or repair of jewelry into careers.
Any student who is a U.S. citizen and enrolled in a jewelry program, whether at a university or trade school, can apply for a scholarship. Applicants must be able to demonstrate financial need, and they’ll be assessed based on their course of study, career plans, academics, recommendations, and related experience.
The deadline for applications is May 15. To learn more, go to the Scholarships page in the Career Connections section of MJSA.org: here.
The MJSA Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit subsidiary of MJSA, the U.S. trade alliance dedicated to professional excellence in jewelry making and design. Since 1997, the Foundation has awarded over $240,000 in scholarship support, including a total of $12,500 in funding provided over the past several years by the Providence Jewelers Club (for students attending Rhode Island schools). All the funds are managed by the Rhode Island Foundation on behalf of MJSA and the MJSA Education Foundation.
